Formulations/Preparations:
•dichloromethane is available as commercialtechnical grade & grades intended specifically for vapor degreasing, aerosol use, food extraction, reagent use & spectrophotometry. purity, when reported, ranges from 99-99.9% (reagenthigh performance liq chromatography grade). acidity (as hydrochloric acid) may be up to 5-10 mgkg. the max concn of water in commercial grade dichloromethane is generally 100-200 mgkg, but anhydrous dichloromethane (less than 50 mgkg water) is also available ...•small amt of stabilizers are often added to dichloromethane at the time of manufacture. cyclohexane (50 mgkg) & propylene oxide have been added to commercial aerosols & reagent grades of dichloromethane for this purpose. other reported stabilizers include 2-methyl-2-butene @ 50 mgkg, ethanol or methanol at approx 0.2%, & small quantities (1 mgkg) of phenol .•additives may include 0.0001-1% of stabilizers such as: amines, 4-cresol, hydroquinone, methanol, 2-methylbut-2-ene, 1-naphthol, nitromethane + 1,4-dioxane, phenol, resorcinol, and thymol.•in the usa, a standard grade dichloromethane has the following typical specifications: a clear, water white liquid, free of suspended matter acidity, 5 mgkg max; non volatile residue 10 mgkg max; free halogen none; & a 100% distillation range of 39.5-40.5 deg c.•grades available from mallinkrodt speciaty chemicals include ar, chomar, nanograde, spectrar, ultimar, acs reagent, usp, hplc, and gc grades.
